Lyrics
I can't fall asleep
I am unable to fall asleep
A jukebox that only has one good song
Comparing life to a jukebox with only one good song
Put on repeat and on repeat
Repeating the same experience over and over
That's where my head's at now
Current state of mind
It's where man knows want
Describes a situation where one understands or experiences lack or desire
Keep dying alone
Experiencing repeated emotional pain and isolation
You gotta play the part
The necessity to conform to societal expectations
But I'm still alive
Despite challenges, the speaker is still alive
Keep dying alone
Reiteration of the experience of dying alone
You gotta play the part
Emphasizing the societal role-playing
But I'm still alive
The speaker asserts their survival despite challenges
Never asleep-sleep-sleep-sleep-sleep
Insomnia or the inability to achieve deep sleep
I swear I'd kill a man for one good dream
Expressing a strong desire for a meaningful dream
And every night it's just the same old thing
Every night feels repetitive and unfulfilling
I'm not even doing much
The speaker is not actively doing much in life
But I've never known want
Despite inactivity, the speaker has never experienced lack or desire
Keep dying alone
Continued experience of dying alone
You gotta play the part
Emphasizing the need to conform to societal roles
But I'm still alive
The speaker asserts their continued survival despite societal expectations
Keep dying alone
Repetition of the theme of dying alone
You gotta play the part
Continued emphasis on societal role-playing
But I'm still alive
Asserting resilience despite societal pressures
Keep dying alone
Repetition of the theme of dying alone
You gotta play the part
Emphasizing the pressure to conform to societal expectations
But I'm still alive
Asserting survival despite societal challenges
